UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 21, 1906.

Application filed August 29, 1905- Serial No. 276,297.

To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS OWEN MORAN, a subject of the Kin of Grreat Britain and Ireland, and a resi ent of Ellensborough street, Ipswich, in the State of Queensland, Commonwealth of Australia, have invented a certain new and useful Invention entitled Garment-Supporters, of which the following is a specification.

The objects of the invention are to produce an article for holding up stockings or socks without stopping the circulation as when garters are used and to overcome the downward drag when suspenders are used, also to provide a trouser-clip for cyclists which can be removed from the sock and used for th trousers. v g

It consists in a short length of elastic web to the ends of which are fastened metal plates formed with hooks in front and having side lugs or projections and front end projections which fold over and clip the elastic Web.

Referring to the drawings which form part of this specification, Figure 1 is a to View; Ili 2, a side view; Fig. 3, a view 0 under s1 e.

A is a length of elastic web, B and B stamped metal plates, having lugs or projec tions b, b, b b b, b", b, and b and end pro-' jecting pieces 0 and c, all formed integrally with the plates, which fold over upon the webbing and are pressed down, securely fastening the plates to the webbing.

which takes up the slack of the stocking or sock and tightens the same upon the leg without interfering with the circulation.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A garment-sup orter consisting of a length of elastic materia and a metal plate connected to each end thereof, each plate being of rectan lar form and having lugs on both side e ges and a projecting plece at one end thereof adaptedto engage the elastic material and projecting portions, bent into hookform, at one end edge on each side of the rojecting piece and a thumb-piece on one p ate.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.

- THOMAS OWEN MORAN.
